I don't know.

Those three words have helped me out a lot.

Ever since I moved out, I've been struggling. Emotionally. As previously mentioned, I have depression. It's not that I'm super sad, it is just being overwhelmed with emotion. My doctor explained it to me by letting me know that normal bodies regularly produce seratonin. I don't know how to spell it but that is what makes you feel emotions. My body produces way too much and overloads me with emotion. For no reason. So I'm on some pills that regulate my seratonin intake.

Going on...I'm emotionally exhausted. I'm taking my pills but I'm a woman, so I am still very emotional. I cry way too much, especially when I have to talk about my feelings. I'm dating a man who is very good for me and has me express myself instead of stuffing everything inside. I appreciate him greatly.

As hard as it is, I'm glad that I'm learning to share my emotions.

Going along with the blog title, I thought I should share what I've learned. Being on my own is a lot harder than I thought. It's not that I didn't think for myself when I was living with my parents, but I have to think through everything alone now. I don't have anything planned out for me, everything is my decision.

I don't always make the best decisions but I'm trying. I actually like myself for the first time in a very long time so I'd like to think I'm doing alright.

There are some things I have not decided yet. And when people ask me about those things, I've learned that I'm allowed to say, "I don't know."

It's okay to not know everything...and it's okay to be me.

I feel you. I was typing a longer comment, but it's personal, so I deleted it. You know how to get ahold of me if you're curious. Keep it up girl, you're way too amazing for life to not have awesome stuff in store for you.
